You will learn about the fundamental concepts of Surpac’s interface, graphics environment, geology database, string files, DTM surfaces, solids modelling (wireframing), block modelling and macros.

These concepts are reinforced through a large number of practical activities, all of which involve using Surpac on a real-life data set. This training course has been drawn from industry best practice as well as more than twenty years of Surpac experience.

Course outline:

• Introduction – course overview, understand key outcomes and your goals
• The Surpac Interface – understanding all of the main components and how to customise them to improve your efficiency
• Surpac Data – how to display, import, export, and convert the most commonly used data types (e.g. strings, DTMs, CSV, other Geological Mining Software)
• Macros – learn how to save time by creating and running Tcl scripts
• String Editing – learn how to create, and modify strings in graphics and via file tools
• Geology Database – understand database structure, how to create a database, as well as how to import, export, and display data
• DTM Surfaces – learn how to create, view, display, contour, and report volumes
• Solids Modelling – learn how to create, view, display, contour, and report volumes
• Block Modelling – learn basic block model concepts such as sub-blocking, how to create, display and visualise a block model, and generate grade-tonnage reports

You will learn:

• all components of the Surpac interface, and how to customise them to your needs
• about the structure and use of Surpac’s data types (e.g. string files, DTMs)
• how to use the graphics environment to display, create and modify data
• how to create, view, and report volumes of DTM surfaces and solid models (wireframes)
• how to create contours from DTM surfaces and solid models
• how to create geological databases and block models
• how to import, export, display and report data in geology databases and block models
• how to create and run macros to improve your efficiency using Surpac

Please note: You will need to bring your laptop and Surpac dongle to the training.
